Copying a Project
The importance of backing up your files cannot be emphasized enough. Do it
often. Hopefully, you’ll never need to use a backup copy of your project, but you’ll
thank yourself a hundred times over if you ever need it.
To copy a Project:
1. Press
Project
. Press the
Page Right button, and
in the
Project Files Menu
,
select
Copy
.
2. If there is more than one hard
drive, choose the drive you want
to copy the project from by
selecting either
Internal
or
External
from the Source Drive
screen using the
<< / >>
buttons.
The selection defaults to the drive containing the currently open project.
Select
Next
.
3. Use the

4. If there is more than one hard
drive, choose the drive you want
to copy the project to by selecting
either
Internal
or
External
from
the Destination Drive screen using the
<< / >>

It is
extremely
important that you make backup copies of your projects at the end
of each session. While digital recording technology is highly reliable and hard disk
media is durable, sometimes stuff just happens. To reduce your risk of catastrophic
data loss (and the possible loss of $$ and clients), back up your projects on two
media before deleting them from your working drive(s).
There…. now you know better. So, don’t wait until disaster strikes to get backup
religion, and don’t complain to Mackie when your pet Rottweiler discovers that the
only copy of your client’s $20,000 project makes a superb chew toy and buries the
drive in the garden.
